Boy it's going to be nasty if one of them falls off doing that wearing shorts, t-shirt & a baseball cap!

It's been 15 years since I was on a bicycle .. even if the wheels didn't buckle under me, I think just staying upright would be a big enough challenge ;D

On me BMX maybe, and I covered me elbows and knees then at least. Impressive control though, has to be said. (waits for "not proper control" comment  :-X  ::)   ;) )

Only a biker truly understands why a dog sticks it's head out of the window of a moving car.

I'm not big fan of stunting but do have to tip my hat to those that are good at it and it makes me wonder how many bikes these people destroy along the way to being that good. Just look at what happens to the guys bike in turks second video, and that was just one wheelie going wrong, how many bikes does it take to perfect your technique? Just look at the amount of vids on youtube of stunts gone wrong, lol!

Was interesting to note the extra back brake lever on the guys bike in arronjb's vid though (about 1 min in, the red and black tribal paint job on tank)

I agree.
Many years ago I had no problem pulling wheelies and keeping them going on a saturday night at the Bridge, but to be sat anywhere other than the seat when doing it certainly shows the rider is in control.

I don't think any of those riders could have had proper control of their machines.



 ;D ;D ;D :P



Although I did find that quite entertaining and yes, there was ample evidence of some very impressive machine control.
